Dragons with goatees prefer siu mai: Pic from the Portside Pub in Gastown

May 27th, 2013

This dragon knows his subterranean nightspots.

To step into the Portside on 7 Alexander Street  is to step into Disney's version of Tom Waits' "Singapore".

At the end of the downstairs bar, there's a dim sum shack that uses the twee-retro design elements from Save-On Meats (also owned by Mark Brand), but to tout snacks eaten with wooden skewers or chopsticks.

Is this dragon, all eyebrows and goatee, correct? Is Portside's dim sum truly the best shit? You'd find better on Alexandria Road (or down the street in Chinatown), but it's refreshing to see a bar menu containing something other than fries and burgers.

Superb Pacific-Northwest beer selection, but not exactly a budget night out. My Visa card actually had a black eye.

In light of all the discussion surrounding Enbridge, Kinder Morgan and the possible expansion of oil tankers along the coast of British Columbia, here's a reminder that we share the grounds with our mammalian pals. It is as much their land as it is ours.

Canucks' deadline deals: players lost, players gained

The Vancouver Canucks made a few significant trades this afternoon before the NHL trade deadline. The biggest of them all: Cody Hodgson for Zack Kassian.

The initial shock was quite obvious throughout the Twitterverse as Hodgson was penciled in as a key piece of the Canucks' future and is currently in the middle of a solid rookie campaign. With Henrik Sedin and Ryan Kesler permanently slotted in the middle on the first and second lines, Hodgson saw limited ice time on the team's third line, but flourished under the conditions and provided the Canucks with solid secondary scoring and clutch goals against top-tier teams.
